We’ll help you to make your own biofuel...all at the flick of a switch

THE age of do-it-yourselfdiesel has arrived, thanks to the innovative work of a Southend company.

LiquidNRG, based on a site by the A127, allows drivers to make their own biodiesel at a fuel tax and VAT-free rate of £1 a litre – compared to the £1.35 a litre you’ll fork out at the pumps.

At the heart of LiquidNRG’s operation is a unique patented machine, the “dieseldroid”, which transforms rapeseed or soy oil into fuel at the press of a button.

LiquidNRG’s founder Rob Beardwell said: “LiquidNRG is made possible because of a regulation which allows a domestic user up to 2,500 litres of biodiesel tax-free. The proviso is you have to make it yourself.”

Construction company boss Rob spent more than two years developing the technology, setting up patents in 28 countries, and ensuring LiquidNRG complies fully with all regulations.

He said: “We are in this for the long term, and it’s important the concept is taken seriously.

“This is not some back-street operation peddling a few barrels of used fish and chip oil.

“We worked closely with Fenwick Elliott, leading specialists in the law relating to the energy industry, to ensure we are compliant in every respect.”

Rob has been filling his own Range Rover solely with LiquidNRG product.

He said: “Performance wise, you don’t notice the difference and the biodiesel can mix with conventional diesel from a garage forecourt, if, say, you’re going on a long journey.

“I haven’t been to a garage forecourt for a year.”

The dieseldroid, which is about the size of an office drinks dispensing machine, processes rape or soy oil, which LiquidNRG supplies for the customer.

Twenty-four hours later, carbon- neutral green diesel emerges at the other end. The process is all done in the machine.

Eventually Rob plans to market the machines himself. He believes theywill have particular value in remote parts of the world or in disaster zones.

He said: “You can make a batch of diesel, use a small amount to power the generator to make the next batch, and after that, the process is self-perpetuating.”

But for now, LiquidNRG is concentrating on domestic customers, who simply have to push a green button on the machine to start the process going.

Rob said: “It establishes them, for legal purposes, as the maker of that particular batch.”

The diesel is then delivered to the customer’s home.

It is dispensed via a “convenience pack”, also developed by LiquidNRG, which is a fuel-pump powered from a vehicle’s lighter socket.

The bloke looks a bit shifty but what a great concept. He has obviously found a loophole.... "Customers just press a green button which means they are established as the maker of the fuel" Loving the idea though

Purchased this last week and have got to say it’s great. Best thing apart from the £1 per litre is the fact that I can fill up at home. Its so convenient! Also got to say that they were so helpful, took me though every step and made sure I was fully clear on every thing. Highly recommend LiquidNRG!

This is a truly great product. I’ve been using Green Diesel now for just under 3 months and what a great feeling filling your tank up to the hilt for a fraction of the price at the forecourt! Give it a go you won’t be disappointed.

That's what the bloke at my local biodiesel place said (along with "we supply many taxi and haulage firms, don't worry"). So I bought a 200l drum off them. It completely wrecked my fuel injection pump. They're only £3600 to replace from the main dealer though, plus labour, so that venture turned out to be a total bargain. Funny enough the biodiesel company didn't want to know at that point. Any quality promise just evaporated. They're no longer in business now though, good riddance I say.

But is it a 'Fraction', check in Asda 1.28 a litre for proper diesel you get there and then and NO swerving and NO risk to your engine.
